A 2026 survey summary says nearly two-thirds of 1,000 affluent respondents in the United States, the United Kingdom and Argentina owned cryptocurrency. That does not mean they made it a core part of a long-term wealth plan—and the available report does not provide adviser-specific results to show whether financial advisers are recommending crypto.
Are wealthy investors buying cryptocurrency?
According to Crypto Debut’s 2026 account of Nexo’s Digital Wealth Survey, nearly two-thirds of the respondents said they owned cryptocurrency. The reported sample consisted of 1,000 affluent respondents in the United States, the United Kingdom and Argentina. The secondary report does not give the precise ownership percentage.
These are reported survey findings, not evidence that wealthy investors generally own crypto. The original survey and details needed to assess how representative the sample is—including respondent selection, field dates and the definition of “affluent”—are not available in the report’s account.

Does owning crypto mean it is part of a financial plan?
No. Crypto Debut characterizes the survey as showing a gap between ownership and making cryptocurrency a core part of long-term financial planning. It points to decisions such as retirement planning and portfolio allocation, but the available summary does not include detailed results or figures for those areas.
That distinction matters: owning an asset is not the same as relying on it as a central element of a portfolio or retirement strategy. The summary supports that broad contrast, but not a more detailed account of how respondents allocate wealth or plan for retirement.
Are financial advisers recommending crypto to wealthy clients?
The available account does not establish what advisers think or recommend. It provides no adviser-specific survey results, so it cannot support the headline’s suggestion that advisers are unsold, nor quantify a gap between investor demand and adviser support.
Crypto Debut’s article, “Wealthy Investors Own Crypto—but Rarely Bet Big on It,” is a secondary report about Nexo’s survey, not the primary survey itself. Without the original report and its adviser-related questions or findings, adviser sentiment remains unverified. Read the Crypto Debut report.

What the survey summary can—and cannot—tell you
- It reports: a sample of 1,000 affluent respondents across three countries, near two-thirds crypto ownership, and a distinction between ownership and making crypto central to long-term planning.
- It does not establish: a precise ownership rate, how representative the respondents are, the survey’s exact question wording, or what financial advisers recommend.
- It cannot show: that adviser views caused the reported planning gap, or that all affluent investors and advisers share the same attitudes.
For an individual considering crypto in a broader wealth plan, the reported ownership figure alone is not a recommendation. A qualified financial planner or digital-asset tax professional may help assess portfolio fit and tax obligations; check credentials and jurisdiction-specific scope before relying on advice.
